1. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as readers, listeners and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the journalistic interview, especially television interviews, requires thoughtful analyses and even study, as this book indicates.
The passage is most likely a part of________.(D)
A. a news article
B. a journalistic interview
C. a research report
D. a preface
解析：这是一道推理题。我们通过as this book indicates做出判断，这段话属于前言(preface)的一部分。考生很容易会选B项a journalistic interview，因为在原文中多处找到了对应，但是我们需要知道细节类题与推理题最大的不同就在于，后者需要透过现象看本质。直接找到文字对应的往往是陷阱，要特别小心。
Breast cancer patients who take a multivitamin or extra vitamin E experience a smaller decrease in important immune cells, a common side effect of chemotherapy, new research suggests.
Women who took a nutritional supplement, a multivitamin or extra vitamin E had a smaller drop in neutrophils (中性粒细胞) , white blood bold cells that help fight bacterial infections. However, women with relatively high levels of B-vitamin folate (叶酸) had a larger drop in neutrophils.
Study author Richard F. Branda cautioned that chemotherapy patients should first discuss taking supplements with their doctors, because some supplements may interfere with treatment. For instance, cod liver oil and St. John\’s Wort may interfere with bold thinning drugs, hormone treatment or chemotherapy.
Previous research has also shown that an herbal dietary supplement that some men use to treat prostate cancer, called PC-SPES, may interfere with the anti-cancer activity of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, making it less effective. However, studies have also shown that vitamin E may enhance the benefits and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, and many doctors now recommend vitamin therapy during treatment.
To investigate whether supplements help reduce side effects from chemotherapy, Branda and his colleague asked 49 women with breast cancer to complete questionnaires detailing their use of supplements during chemotherapy. The authors found that more than 70 percent of women were taking at least one of 165 different types of supplements. On average, patients took three supplements. However, some women said they took up to 20 daily supplements during treatment. The most common supplements were multivitamins, vitamin E and calcium. Women who took multivitamins or vitamin E alone experienced a smaller decrease in their neutrophils during chemotherapy.
However, women with relatively high levels of the B-vitamin folate in their blood had a larger-than-average decrease in neutrophils, the authors report in the journal Cancer.
Branda, who is based at the University of Vermont in Burlington, explained that many cancer patients—and people without cancer—take supplements because they believe they are \\
2.Taking a multivitamin has been proven to be________for breast cancer patients.(B)
A. useless
B. helpful
C. detrimental
D. effective
解析：根据taking multivitamin和breast cancer定位到第一段，可知服用复合维生素的乳腺癌患者较不服用者重要免疫细胞减少的程度小(smaller decrease in important immune cells)，由此可知，这对乳腺癌患者来讲是有帮助的。effective是一个不太好区分的混淆项。服用复合维生素只能是减少化疗side effect，并非对治疗癌症本身有效，所以h
